Abstract
An image producing device includes two or more vector processors for conducting geometry processing for expressing the respective images in parallel to produce graphic element lists, a graphic processor for conducting graphic processing on the basis of the graphic element lists, and an arbitrator. The graphic processor includes two buffers for storing graphic contexts corresponding to the graphic element lists together with identification information on the graphic contexts, and a unit for reading a specific graphic context from the buffers upon inputting the graphic element lists from the arbitrator to conduct the graphic processing. Each of the vector processors produces the graphic element lists having, as their contents, the identification information of the graphic context specified by the geometry processing assigned to each of the vector processors.
